POLICE are advising motorists about a number of short road closures during Neston Ladies Day on June 3.

Four parades will be taking place through Neston so a diversion route for all traffic will be in operation.

Alternatively, vehicles can wait at the stop points until the parade has passed.

The diversion route will by-pass the town centre via Gladstone Road, Tannery Lane and Raby Park Road. This will provide access between Hinderton Road and Liverpool Road/A540.

Traffic in the Parkgate area should access the area via The Parade, Boathouse Lane and Chester High Road.

Each of the four parades will last between 10 and 25 minutes and traffic will be halted at the start and then released at the end.

The first parade will begin at 1.45pm at the British Legion and will turn left into Chester Road, right into High Street past Neston Cross and into Liverpool Road.

Parade two starts at 2.30pm at the Malt Shovel Public House car park along Liverpool Road and into the High Street. At 2.55pm the procession is due to arrive at St Mary’s & St Helen’s Parish Church for a 45-minute service.

At 3.40pm, the third parade will leave the Parish church and muster in Church Lane proceeding along Parkgate Road towards the direction of The Cross.

It is due to arrive at Neston Cross for an outdoor service and blessing of the town at 3.55pm.

At 4.05pm, the final parade moves from the Cross, along High Street and Bridge Street before turning left into Chester Road to the Civic Hall where it will stop in the road and disperse.
